Avoid calibration inaccuracies with this calibrator
Ametek Sensors, Test & Calibration
Many processing plants within the pharmaceutical and food industries feature a wide range of short sanitary sensors that cause problems during calibration because of their shape and size. Because of this, these sensors necessitate calibration within an oil bath, which often introduces further problems. To avoid these difficulties, this company offers a portable calibration kit for use with its JOFRA RTC-156 dry-block calibrator (photo). Customized inserts and a reference sensor were developed specifically for this application. This kit features inserts that protrude above the well, providing surface-to-surface contact between the sensor and the insert. A port in the kit allows users to position a flexible reference sensor at the same depth as the sanitary sensor tip for more accurate and consistent results. If the penetration depth doesn’t allow for proper immersion, users can position the reference sensor from the bottom of the insert to the depth of the sanitary sensor. — Ametek Sensors, Test & Calibration, Alleroed, Denmark
